Welcome to the EZ

"Terrifying. The first solo RPG I played to the end in a long time."

"An excellent blend of horror, art and pseudo science geekiness!"

"This is brilliantly done. It's super evocative and has an easy to grasp gameplay loop with just the right amount of risk/reward calculation to keep things interesting."

"A beautiful game. A perfect way to blend roleplay and art."

"The plant creation aspect is so creative and inspiring!"

Inspired by The Colour Out of Space by H.P. Lovecraft and Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer. Exclusion Zone Botanist is an ENNIE-nominated solo drawing and exploration game.

You are a botanist assigned to explore and document the Exclusion Zone flora. Get in. Discover and document. Get out.
